Lin Jicheng remained silent for a moment, the light and shadow of snowflakes and lanterns swirling in her dark eyes. Her eyes reflected the night snow in the capital, as well as the busy figures moving back and forth in the courtyard.
Lin Jicheng gently exhaled a puff of white breath in the cold, snowy night:
"In the new year, and in the more distant future, I hope..."
"May I have the courage to keep going, and also the freedom to stop at any time..."
"I want eyes that can see through the fog and reveal the truth, guiding me to the ultimate truth..."
"I want to use my own hands to straighten out each piece of the puzzle and fragments. I want to climb step by step to the pinnacle of my own wealth and freedom, and I also hope—"
Lin Jicheng took the hands of the three dormitory members:
"I also hope that wherever I go, I will always have people who support and understand me. I also hope that the four of us, no matter when or where we are, or what we become, will never remember the snow in Beijing tonight..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent, with only the sound of falling snow.
"...It definitely will!"
Qiao Lingyuan was the first to jump up and hug Lin Jicheng tightly!
"Yes, we want to see snow together next year!"
An Xinmeng nodded emphatically.
"Not just next year! We'll watch it together every year from now on!"
Xu Qingning emphasized that the four girls embraced tightly in the snowy night. They raised their glasses, letting them clink crisply in the warm lamplight and swirling snowflakes. Their wishes, along with the snow of this New Year's Eve, were etched into this courtyard that witnessed history and the future...
After the lively and warm New Year, a new semester quickly began. The four of us in the dormitory, having recovered from the short holiday break, were about to plunge back into the busy reality and academic life.
Perhaps because everyone made wishes on New Year's Eve, their development path in the following period perfectly matched their wishes, and they gradually fulfilled all their desires step by step.
It's graduation season again, and the four roommates spontaneously gathered in the courtyard. It was late summer, early autumn, and the courtyard was lush and green, with abundant trees providing ample shade. Sitting under the large trees in the courtyard, listening to the cicadas chirping, the four naturally started talking about their future plans—
Xu Qingning continued to excel academically, dedicating herself wholeheartedly to her studies and research over the next few years, no longer burdened by her family circumstances. Four years later, Xu Qingning, with a scholarship in hand, quickly became an outstanding researcher with numerous excellent papers and several patents. Relying on these research achievements and her top-ranking academic performance for four consecutive years, she smoothly gained admission to Jinghua University's direct-entry doctoral program.
“Ji Cheng, when I got into Jinghua University through the college entrance exam, I certainly didn’t expect that I would stay at this school for so long and be able to complete my studies so smoothly…”
On the day the results of the direct-entry doctoral program were released, Xu Qingning adjusted her glasses and said to Lin Jicheng with great emotion:
"However, whether I'm an undergraduate or a doctoral student, I will not leave the lab or Chengxin Technology. I will continue to study... After I graduate in a few years, I will definitely join Chengxin Technology to continue working. President Lin, you'd better wait for me!"
"Of course! I'd be more than happy to welcome a talented young man like you!"
Lin Jicheng smiled very happily:
"If you come, the position of project team leader in the R&D department will definitely be reserved for you!"
As for An Xinmeng, her university life was even more vibrant and fulfilling—
An Xinmeng's academic performance was quite good, her extracurricular activities were thriving, and she even had time to travel the world on a shoestring budget. Her university life was incredibly colorful.
She can easily organize events for hundreds of people on campus and seems to know everyone in the school, from the dormitory supervisor to the dean, from top students to art students. An Xinmeng seems to have maxed out her social skills and can always create a huge information network. As a prominent figure in the college, An Xinmeng seems to be even more successful than the previous senior Zhou Xiaomo...!
"Sigh, Ji Cheng, now that I think back to what happened with Zhou Xiaomo, I just find it a little funny, I'm not sad at all..."
An Xinmeng sighed:
"Looking back a few years later, I realize that I didn't actually have feelings for him. I just wanted to be like Zhou Xiaomo, to become a popular figure at school, to be the center of attention on social stages... I just wanted to be someone with a good image, not to date him!"
"Of course, you're much more successful than him now..."
Lin Jicheng smiled and reminded him:
“Zhou Xiaomo has no character. He often hurts others before he can build relationships. But Xinmeng is different. We have made our way up step by step with our own strength!”
As graduation approached, An Xinmeng, like all graduates, stood at a crossroads in her life. Although she had experienced a rich and colorful life, she didn't seem confused at all; on the contrary, she was very clear-headed. An Xinmeng said to Lin Jicheng very seriously:
"During my four years of university, I've had my fill of fun and experienced everything. I've discovered that what I love most is interacting with people, planning interesting things, and telling engaging stories... This aligns well with my business studies..."
